milk and honey.

Have you ever read something that feels like it was written just for you? This book of poetry seems like the thing that had been missing from my book shelf (and my life). I love every word, but here are my favorites:

love will come
and when love comes
love will hold you
love will call your name
and you will melt
sometimes though
love will hurt you but
love will never mean to
love will play no games
cause love knows life
has been hard enough already

you wrap your fingers

around my hair

and pull

this

is how you make music

out of me

i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like
when i am sad
i don’t cry i pour
when i am happy
i don’t smile i glow
when i am angry
i don’t yell i burn

the good thing about feeling in extremes is

when i love i give them wings
but perhaps that isn’t
such a good thing
cause they always
tend to leave and
you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don’t grieve i shatter
